Corporate Management Programs and In-house Workshops 2018-2019

Since the early seventies St. Gallen has evolved as the center of modern management development. Professor Dr. Hans Ulrich early on recognized the importance of a holistic, integrated management approach. Dr. Ulrich’s successor, Prof. Dr. h.c. Knut Bleicher – a long-term scientific director and chairman of the supervisory board of St. Gallen Business School – took on the task of transforming the approach and development of the St. Gallen Management Model into the Integrated Management Concept, providing pragmatic guidance for best practice and implementation. Today this concept is internationally well recognized and popular; it has a major impact on how today’s managers think. Nowadays the St. Gallen Approach is more popular than ever. One-dimensional leadership is out; holistic management is in. The St. Gallen approach deliberately does not offer quick fixes and simple solutions. Rather it provides a framework (according to Prof. Ulrich: «An empty shelf to be stocked with expertise.») that supports executives in getting a comprehensive view, defining problems and finding viable solutions. The wide range of management seminars and consulting options provided in St. Gallen transformed this location into an actual Mecca for management training. The foresight of Prof. Ulrich and his vision of a Consulting and Management Valley for Switzerland comparable to Silicon Valley – with all the economic benefits for the area – lead to privately organized spin-offs from the St. Gallen University to develop management training and consulting. St. Gallen Business School is one of the largest and most renowned providers of Management Seminars catering to German speaking regions. Our privately held independent and neutral institution provides training and development based on the St. Gallen Model of Holistic Management for more than 3000 executives from businesses and governments per year.

<strong>In</strong>ternational Training<br />

«Building the Best Marketing &<br />

Communications Mix» for Microsoft<br />

Central & Eastern Europe<br />

2-day concentrated training for product<br />

managers, marketing <strong>and</strong> communications<br />

managers of the subsidiaries of Microsoft<br />

Central & Eastern Europe from the Czech<br />

Republic <strong>and</strong> from Hungary, hosted in<br />

Prague <strong>and</strong> Budapest.<br />

These two training days have been design ed<br />

to introduce participants to new perspectives,<br />

concepts <strong>and</strong> methodologies <strong>and</strong> a<br />

comprehensive approach <strong>and</strong> structural<br />

framework to develop specific marketing<br />

<strong>and</strong> communications concepts tailored to<br />

their respective countries. This includes<br />

the classical marketing mix levers with<br />

all normative parameters, by country <strong>and</strong><br />

from Microsoft. The discussion focused on<br />

critical steps for analysis <strong>and</strong> adaptation<br />

of individual elements on different project<br />

levels. Additionally we emphasized internal<br />

input in the training program to support<br />

country-specific planning processes <strong>and</strong><br />

best practices – for example from marketing<br />

<strong>and</strong> communications.<br />

The methodology for this training was a<br />

combination of knowledge input, interactive<br />

coaching, discussions, as well as<br />

immersion exercises <strong>and</strong> case studies for<br />

reinforcement of newly gained insights.<br />

Together with the regional managers we<br />

tailored the course contents to local requirements<br />

<strong>and</strong> integrated case studies of<br />

practical relevance.<br />
